Utah State aims to beat Colorado State for the fourth time in a row. Last season, the Aggies beat the Rams 26-24 despite being 3-point home favorites. This time, the Rams are home underdogs by 11 points, with 46.0 total points in the game.
In Week 6, the Utah State Aggies (2-4 SU and ATS; 1-1 conf.) finally emerged from their rut. As 11.5-point home underdogs, they defeated Air Force 34–27 to snap a four-game losing streak. Utah State has lost three straight games to Webber State (35-7), UNLV (34-24), and No. 19 BYU (38-26), following a demoralizing 55-0 loss at the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide in Week 2.

Aggies vs Rams Best Picks and Prediction
The Aggies and Rams will be motivated to win two straight games. Since the Rams' offense has been struggling with a freshman at the helm, and the Aggies appear to be a stronger team on paper, I am backing Utah State to improve on the defensive end and cover a 12-point spread.
The Aggies' defense has been essentially terrible through the first six weeks, so this is a fantastic chance for a turnaround performance.
The Aggies will rely on their rushing attack on the other side of the ball, and Cooper Legas has proven that he can do so effectively. The Rams will have a difficult time slowing down the Aggies on the ground because senior RB Calvin Tyler Jr. has 115 carries for 505 yards on the year, including 19 for 109 yards and a touchdown against the Air Force.
Pick: Over 45.5 (-110)
Prediction: Utah State -12 (-110)
